We never reached a conclusion.

Low cost is a HUGE issue.

We have become a Wal-Mart society. Everyone wants everything cheaper but then want to bitch about quality too.

You can't have it all.

In 1901, an "urban" American family dedicated over 46% of their budget to food and beverages.

Today that number is under 12%.

You can eat cheap or you can eat well.
I understand that good food "seems" expensive but it is still far cheaper than it has ever been.

I hate hearing people bitch about how expensive food is when their kids are playing on their PSP's, wearing name brand clothing/shoes and then drive off in their over-priced SUV's.

I know you are probably talking about those that are struggling but how many of them would trade their new TV or their cable bill or their cigarettes for free-range chicken?

Edited to add ciggies for Gregman.
